Good news — this week, I accepted an invitation to be the Artist Guest of Honor for Con*Stellation XXVIII in Huntsville, AL. That’ll be Sept. 19-20, 2009, and I’ll be sharing the GoH stage with stellar authors David Weber and Jack McDevitt as well as Fan GoH Gary Shelton. Very cool!! Many thanks to Sue…
The photo you see here isn’t my work or my studio. This is the studio of Barnet “Barney” Edelman, and his last painting. Today’s my mother’s birthday, and while I certainly don’t need prompting to appreciate her greatness, I’ve had a couple of recent reminders of the value of appreciating what I have while I…
Good stuff to share, while I continue cranking away on lots of new work: * Congrats to FAST FORWARD 2 which was just selected as one of 2008’s best anthologies by LOCUS‘ latest Recommended Reading List. Several FF2 stories were also cited amongst the year’s best including Nancy Kress’ “The Kindness of Strangers”; Paul Cornell’s…
Been away from here a while. Too long. Sorry ’bout that. Been unbelievably swamped lately, and working hard on several assignments. Coming soon here, new covers that I’ve been working on the last couple of weeks. Stay tuned. 🙂 Been working on new Elric drawings as well. It’s been long days and sleepless nights. Meantime,…
Good day today — author Dan Simmons officially approved this artwork so now it can be revealed in its final form. This is my cover illustration for Subterranean Press’ limited edition of Dan’s forthcoming major novel, DROOD. They’re taking pre-orders right now, and if you’re considering owning of these, you might act quickly. Every Sub…
Hooray! Just heard that FAST FORWARD 2 is one of this year’s Philip K. Dick Award finalists. I’m ecstatic for editor Lou Anders and all of the authors. Pyr’s blog has the complete press release. Congrats to HarperCollins/Eos for having three books on the final list. That’s editors Diana Gill and Jennifer Brehl, if you’re…
Been super-busy here, but wanted to note that last week Subterranean Press sent me my copies of Dan Simmons’ MUSE OF FIRE. When Traci and I popped the box open and held the finished books in our hands, we were both blown away. Completely beautiful printing job all around. The interior design by Desert Isle…
Here’s a one-stop visual list of my 2008 published works. As noted elsewhere (thanks, Chris, Cheryl, and John), the awards nomination season is upon us again (Hugos and otherwise). If you wish to reference the list below for future consideration this year, please bookmark this post. FYI: in addition, my blog sidebar displays my 2008…
Blogger’s been cranky these last 24 hours, but finally my sidebar updates are available for all to see. Check out the sidebar to the right and you’ll see a complete visual rundown of my 2008 published cover artwork. I’ll tweak it a bit in the coming days as well as do a detailed post here…
Happy New Year, folks! Hope 2009 brings us all better days than ’08. I just tried uploading my 2008 body of published work into the sidebar at right, but Blogger’s cranky right now. It doesn’t seem to like all the new data for some reason. Once it cooperates, I’ll have little pictures of eighteen shiny…
